Is the orbit of the earth the same as the revolution of the earth?

Yes, "orbit" and "revolve around" mean the same thing.
Not "rotate" though; that means "spin".
The easy way to remember: Earth ROTATES on its axis (spins around) but REVOLVES around the Sun (while its rotating, of course.)

Low Earth orbit satellite period of revolution?
umm if my calculations are correct the period of a low earth orbit (LEO) is approximately 40000000000069 years. as extrapolated from Kepler's equation.
What is the movement of earth around the sun once a year called?
Obviously, it is called a year. It is also one full revolution of the earth. The earth revolves around the sun, and it rotates on its axis.apexRevolution
What does a satellite do when its in geostationary orbit?
it's hot. ;)
How do you place a satellite in earth orbit around sun?
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
What are the main differences between geostationary orbit and polar orbit?
A polar orbit is an Orbit in which a Satellite passes above or nearly above both of the Geographical poles of the body (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Sun being orbited on each revolution. It therefore has an Inclination of (or very close to) 90 degrees to the Equator. Except in the special case of a polar Geosynchronous orbit, a satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different Longitude on each of its orbits.A geostationary orbit (GEO) is a circular orbit directly above the Earth's Equator From the ground, a geostationary object appears motionless in the sky and is therefore the Orbit of most interest to operators of Communication Satellites. Their orbital periods (time taken to revolve around earth) is exactly the same as the planet's (such as Earth's) rotational period. The Geosynchronous orbit is approximately 36,000 km above Earth's surface.geostionary satellites are positioned at an exact height above the earth, at this height they orbit the earth at the same speed at which the earth rotates on its axis whereas polar satellites have a much lower orbit, orbiting the earth quite quickly, scanning different areas of the earth at fairly infrequent periods.
What is earth's path of revolution called?
REVOLUTION!!!!!
What is the difference between an orbit a revolution and a rotation?
An orbit and a revolution are roughly the same thing as the Earth orbits or revolves around the sun, and the moon around the Earth. Rotation refers to the spinning of the celestial being. Earth for example, rotates every 24 hours.
How long is a moon revolution?
Because the moon is tidally locked with the Earth its period of revolution is the same length as its orbit -- approximately 28 days.
Is there any planet which have same rotational and revolution periods as earth?
No. Mars has a similar rotational period but not revolution. For a planet to have the same revolution period as Earth would mean it would have to be in the same Orbit as Earth, with catastrophic results. One was in the same orbit as Earth during it's formation, it crashed into the Earth creating the Moon. It's possible that some extrasolar planet (that is, a planet of a star other than the Sun) might by coincidence have nearly the same rotational and/or revolution period, but we don't know of any yet (and it's not very likely that we ever will).
What s earth's annual motion around the sun called?
This is known as an orbit. An orbit consists of 365 days, which is a year in our calendar.
What is a revolution and how long does it take for earth to revolve around the sun?
A revolution is a complete orbit around the Sun. It takes earth about 365.25 days to orbit the Sun.
Cycle solstice rotation revolution Which of these words means 'orbit'?
Revolution. The Earth can be said to orbit the sun or to revolve around it.
What is the relation between the revolution of the earth around sun and the earth's mass?
There is no relation, any object with the same same distance as the Earth from the sun would complete one orbit in one year.
What is the movement of the moon around earth called?
the Orbit of the moon.
What is the orbit of the earth around the sun called?
revolution
How long does it take for the moon to orbit the earth at the most?
The moon's speed in its orbit changes, but it always evens out so that the time for one complete revolution around the earth is always the same: 27.32 days.
What is another name for revolution of the earth?
The Earth's Rotation if you are talking about its revolution around its primary axis,or the Earth's orbit around the sun.
